Facing race problems together for a new South

In this collection of addresses from a Southern Sociological Congress, leaders call for practical, cooperative steps to improve race relations. The book argues that progress comes from education, civic reform, and shared efforts across races, not from quick, radical changes.

The speakers share concrete examples of programs and successes, from school improvements and teacher training to community efforts that strengthen homes and neighborhoods. They urge patience, open discussion, and a spirit of goodwill as the region works toward better conditions for everyone.

How to enlist welfare agencies and churches in uplifting both white and Black communities
Strategies for improving rural Black schools through trained supervisors and community leagues
Honest discussions about lynching, justice, and civic reform in the early 20th-century South
Lessons on balancing ideal goals with practical steps that move the region forward

Ideal for readers of historical race relations, social reform, and Southern history, this edition offers context for a pivotal era and a shared aspiration for progress.
